MERICS event at Parochialkirche, Berlin

Services

MERICS is Europe's leading China think tank. The institute provides in-depth analyses of the forces that drive Chinese politics, studies on industrial policy and technology developments and policy recommendations that authoritatively inform and significantly shape European debates about China.

MERICS uses events, briefings and media relations to disseminate the latest findings and thinking to decision-makers in politics, economy and society.

In addition, MERICS works together with sponsors and clients from the public and private sector, and offers analyses tailored to target audiences, further education and special-event formats and training. In addition, MERICS gives partners and members the opportunity to establish even closer relationships with the Berlin-based think tank.

Research programs and contract work

MERICS is constantly developing new research programs together with funding partners from the public and private sector. MERICS proactively applies for financing for its projects by competing for public funding and prepares studies and analyses for clients.

Training

MERICS offers tailor-made training and information sessions for public and private institutions on current topics relating to China.

Convening

MERICS has extensive experience in hosting international conferences, meetings, workshops and discussion events. MERICS has also developed information-exchange formats on China-related policy issues for EU member states. The regular “Track 1.5” events with diplomats from all over Europe are one example. On request, MERICS is happy to offer specific expertise to private and public sector clients.
